You will stay in Braga for 7 days (6 nights).
(At least) 4 walking days, with walks that vary in terms of route, environment, view and difficulty (but never really difficult).
Walks are alternated with other activities and with time for yourself.
Meals included.
Why recharge?
Did you know that before I moved to Portugal, I was stuck in a negative spiral for years? I tried and fought to get out, but I couldn’t. I kept going in circles, in the mess in my own head.
Nothing changed.
Until I had the courage to admit that I wouldn’t get out of my (un)comfortable zone on my own.
Until I had the courage to set something in motion.
It is only if you take the step to change something that something can actually change.
I’ve been examining myself.
I learned to look in the mirror and learn to be happy with what I saw.
I have learned to convert negative thoughts into positive ones.
I have learned so much.
And practiced. With tools that were given to me. But also with tools that I found in the principles of positive psychology. And in walking.
I have learned to put myself and my values first.
I have learned to listen to my feelings.
Learned to say ‘yes’ to myself.
And ‘no’ to what does not resonate with my personal values.
I have learned to do what I feel I have to do. And to let go of what does not serve me or what I cannot change.
How? By taking that first step. And then another one and another one.
Not just in my head, also literally.
The way has been revealed along the way. Also literally.
I moved abroad to, again literally, distance myself from the rat race in which I was participating. I found the environment I needed to slow down.
Two years of Corona and a year with lymph node cancer also, strangely enough, contributed to my ability to slow down.
I went for a walk. And along the way I discovered the tools I needed to monitor and maintain my positive mindset. I learned to return to those tools again and again each time when I was losing sight of myself again.
I deal with pressure, stress and ‘obligations’ in a different way. I have learned to do so.
Life feels a lot easier since then. The burden on my shoulders is a lot lighter.
Not every day, but most of the time.
The world hasn’t changed, but the way I look at it has.
I want to take two people with me again on my walks in 2024. Each separately.
Each for 7 days, here with me in Braga.
When?
